Hi
First let's get this out of the way, I'm a Linux newbie. :)
I've installed Debian 3.1, and now I'm trying to install my ADSL USB modem. So far unsuccessfully.
Modem is Dlink DSL 200 rev B and my ISP is using pppoe encapsulation.
First I've installed Eciadsl drivers, and then rp-pppoe-3.6.
My etc/eciadsl/eciadsl-conf looks like this:
Code:
VID1=0915
PID1=8102
VID2=0915
PID2=8102
MODE=LLC_SNAP_RFC1483_BRIDGED_ETH_NO_FCS
VCI=35
VPI=8

MODEM_CHIPSET=GS7470
SYNCH_ALTIFACE=5
PPPOECI_ALTIFACE=1
PROVIDER=Other
DNS1=195.222.32.10
DNS2=195.222.32.20
my etc/ppp/ppoe.conf looks like:
Code:

# Do you want to use synchronous PPP? "yes" or "no". "yes" is much

SYNCHRONOUS=no
# Do you want to clamp the MSS? Here's how to decide:
# - If you have only a SINGLE computer connected to the DSL modem, choose
# "no".
# - If you have a computer acting as a gateway for a LAN, choose "1412".
# The setting of 1412 is safe for either setup, but uses slightly more

So it looks like even though I've installed the driver (at last according to this
hxxp://img303.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot4vq.jpg) It's not being used.
And a pic of my network settings.

I've been reading and trying stuff, but I've run out of ideas. Can anyone help me get the modem working?
BTW, I have dual boot with windows, and it's working there, so I know modem is functioning properly, and is just not configured under Linux.
xx=tt. Not enough posts to put url links.
